SMOG32 Overview The SMOG in SMOG32 stands for Small Multiplayer Online Game.
SMOG32 will be my attempt at a 3D graphical online RPG . It will suport a low-ish level of simultaneous players ( less than 200?), and will use an off-the-shelf 3D engine as well as my own code for the game mechanics, both server and client-side.
A lot of the concepts have been proven during the development of my text based mud server, MUD32.
